I'm proposing this as part of official Wikipedia policy at [[Wikipedia:Divisive and inflammatory behavior]] because I think we need to voice this principle as the basis for a number of other fundamental Wikipedia policies.
Put simply, we are here to work, not to struggle; actions which lead us down the path of "fight or flight" are not productive (after Wilfred Bion). I think making these thoughts explicit will be helpful.

Not decreed, no. Sannse wrote it, I believe. It is just a simple deduction from all our other policies. Behaving in a divisive and inflammatory way anywhere in Wikipedia is not welcome.
